Famous quotes containing the word fancy:
“Theyre fancy talkers about themselves, writers. If I had to give young writers advice, I would say dont listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.”
—Lillian Hellman (19051984)
“Dear as remembered kisses after death,
And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feigned
On lips that are for others; deep as love,
Deep as first love, and wild with all regret;
O Death in Life, the days that are no more.”
—Alfred Tennyson (18091892)
“When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies,
But keep your fancy free.
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
